INTRODUCTION (00:01):
Nonsense and nostalgia with B Mo the Prince. "Some mom brought her daughter over to me at a restaurant. She was like, I don't know who you are. But my daughter said, you're the millennial guy" and Loren Raye, "a cool mom. What is that? Not me. I just record audio in the closet. And I never shower" brought to you by fruit Stripe gum. Because more than five seconds of flavor, it's just too much.
Loren (00:26):
I loved that gum and hated that gum for that exact reason.
B Mo (00:29):
I think every human did probably
Loren (00:32):
Welcome to nonsense and nostalgia where the millennial Prince and the bad-ass chick. We talk about life, Liberty and the pursuit of the nineties. What's up BMO episode four. Yeah.
B Mo (00:43):
Yes. Look at us. Just rolling right along. We're killing it right now.
Loren (00:46):
Sure. Are. Um, I have a question for you. How do you know that you're getting old? Because there are two things that have stood out to me in the last two weeks that I'm like, I never would have cared about this when I was in my twenties.
B Mo (00:59):
Well, one thing that I know for sure. And I've said this to my mom a thousand times, because growing up, my mom and my Nana were coupon, Queens, Queens are the coupons. And I was like, you guys are crazy. They would have little envelopes when we went to the grocery store full of coupons. And now I am that person. That's like, Oh my God, bananas are half off Sarah. We got to get some bananas. We'll have bananas. And I'm like, but they're half off. Let's load up on the banana. I am the coupon King now, I guess. Yeah.
Loren (01:28):
All right. Well, listen. At least it stayed in the family. So I actually have a friend. I have a friend who was on extreme couponing years and years and years ago. It's his whole basement looks like a stock room. It's wild. Yeah. So the two things that I've noticed why I'm getting old, I have a favorite kitchen knife now I do. Do you not
B Mo (01:49):
I think I do. Yeah.
Loren (01:50):
So we registered for fancy knives when we got married. Right. Which is like one of the perks of getting married. And so I never seen this mic before. It's, I'm going to mispronounce it. It's called a Santuko knife
B Mo (02:02):
And it sounds like a good knife. Oh,
Loren (02:04):
It is fricking great man. And it's like, I've actually been so upset that it's been dirty and sitting in our sink to be washed that instead of just picking it up and washing it for 30 seconds. I truly thought to myself, the next time they're on sale, I'm going to buy another one. That's how much I want to use this knife. It's awesome. Maybe you can find a coupon. Perfect. And then the other thing that I'm noticing is that I covet other people's washer and dryers.
B Mo (02:33):
That's actually, yeah, that's a thing. That's a thing. When you see a good one,
Loren (02:37):
Hey, the house that we owned in Massachusetts was older. Right. And, but it had a washer and dryer and it was fine, but they were just one of the older ones. And then now, we're renting this house in New Jersey and it's got these two Samsung washer and dryers. And um, and as soon as you press the button, it's like, [inaudible] and you're like, all right, go do your work. It's so fast and so quiet. They are my favorite things in the whole wide world. So here I am.
B Mo (03:05):
You got a little R2D2 washer dryer too. That's pretty great. So my other thing, there is one more thing that I know I'm getting old and this might be just because we recently just got into the whole buying a house is I genuinely now enjoy trips to like home Depot.
Loren (03:21):
Did you know that you can bring your dog, to Home Depot?
B Mo (03:24):
No. Shut up.
Loren (03:28):
Really? I swear. And we didn't learn this until we bought our house, same thing. And we started going to like home Depot and Lowe's all the time. And I was like, why are there so many dogs in here? Yeah,
B Mo (03:38):
No, that is fantastic. We went the other day and Sarah was looking for something. And then I went down to the refrigerators. We have a brand new refrigerator, but I'm just looking at them. And there, there were like smart fridges, which can hit a button and it tells you what's inside. And some recipes for what you can cook based on the things in your fridge. And I was like, this is, I need it. So I spent like 20 minutes playing with fridges in home Depot. It was a wild time, but like, it was the time of my life.
Loren (04:07):
I know. And it's funny because when we were little, maybe this was just me, but I would have just as much fun in home Depot because my friends and I would put each other in the huge baskets and just drive around. And I, I vividly remember we lost my friend Marisa's parents once. And so over the speaker, it was like Marisa and Loren, please report to the front of home Depot. And I was like, crap, we got in trouble. But yeah, I'm glad. You've like, refounded that again? It's a whole new world, isn't it?
B Mo (04:34):
Oh no. I'm here for it.
Loren (04:38):
Yo, you almost got canceled.
B Mo (04:41):
I did. That is a thing that almost happened. So, uh, you remember when Trump almost got impeached again the second time? So they were doing the trial or whatever and I'm watching it on TV and I'm only half watching. And I noticed that one of his lawyers said, excuse me, and stopped to take a sip of water, put a hand on the top of his head and then sip the water and then went back. And I was like, who the hell drinks their water like that. What a weird thing? So I just like made a quick TikTok video of it because I was like, if I'm thinking this, I know other people are. And so I posted it, not trying to like make fun of the guy. I was just like, why is this happening? And so someone commented, um, Oh, it's because he's Jewish and they're so used to having to wear the yamaka that they naturally hold it and sit.
B Mo (05:30):
And I go, Oh, I'm like in the comments was like, that makes sense. Well then he can drink. However, he would like, blah, blah, blah. And I've just left it for a little while. A half hour later, I come back and I, I remind you that Sarah is Jewish. So I'm married to a woman who is Jewish. I, we just celebrated Passover. So I have no problems with anyone. I don't care what you do as long as you're a nice person. But I look at my comments like maybe 30 minutes later and it's all like, this is the most anti-Semitic thing I have ever seen in my life. You need to take this down or like, where are you? We need to have you banned and removed and blah, blah, blah. I was like, Whoa,
Loren (06:12):
Really? Truly there has to be room for learning. And I'm going to get on my soap box for a second. But I believe fully that we need to address issues with people or else they won't grow and learn. So I'm not saying that you can excuse things, but in many cases it's important. Like in your case to just say, Oh, he just didn't know. But someone told him and then he was like, Oh, okay, I get it. Now that's called learning.
B Mo (06:37):
Exactly that. And the thing I said to Sarah was, Oh my God, you can't, you won't believe what just happened. And, uh, and I told her that comment of this is the most anti-Semitic thing I've ever seen. And she was like, wait, that's the Mo, have they never heard of the Holocaust? It was, it was button man as to me. But all I want to say to people is like, just give, give people a shot let's at least hear about for a second. Cause that was wild. I ended up just deleting it. Cause I didn't have time for the battle. I've learned that I'm not, I'm not built to argue with people online. I'm just built to be stupid and send out funny videos. If you don't like it, you don't like it. Whatever. Unfollow me
Loren (07:15):
A little note. If you don't like something that someone said, just move on. If you can politely bring it to their attention like that person did with you. I think that's awesome. They saw it like, Hey, here's a teachable moment. Maybe B Mo didn't know.
B Mo (07:30):
Yeah. And the other funny part of that is almost all of the Jewish people that commented were like, listen guys, he's married to a Jewish girl. He literally didn't mean anything bad. We can tell. And also we don't expect anyone. That's not Jewish to know that. Like we don't expect anyone to understand this. So even furthermore, it was people who weren't Jewish and just were like, ah, you are terrible.
Loren (07:55):
Well-meaning but kind of missing the Mark A. Little bit. Yeah. I know bananas. Well, I'm glad you weren't canceled. We're living in. It's a tough thing to navigate, but that's all right. Uh, we want to definitely do our shout outs where we thank the people that are super supportive that are helped us with this podcast. All that good stuff. As we know by now, uh, I pick a random nineties icon for B Mo to imitate while he thinks his people and he picks one for me. So this week I would like for you to imitate Mrs. Doubtfire.
B Mo (08:30):
Oh, okay. Um, all right. All right. Uh, hello there, sweetie. I would just like to thank my little group of friends that I grew up with, they're so wonderful. They always support, and they've done many silly projects with me to help me and such. And we call ourselves the klassholes with a K with a K. So to the boys that have known me for so long and would always support. I would love to give them a little thank you. Wonderful, wonderful fellas. I don't want to lie. I've I've done some Mrs. Doubtfire things. I'll have you. Oh, I haven't seen them. Well, not bits, but just, I basically on a Saturday, I live my life doing bits. So no one has seen them yet, but maybe, maybe that's coming. We'll see.
Loren (09:25):
Totally. I love it. Um, who am I going to be?
B Mo (09:29):
Right. So one of my favorite shows growing up, and one of my mom's favorite shows too the nanny. I would like you to be my girl, the queen, miss Fran Drescher.
Loren (09:40):
Okay. Oh boy. Um, Oh, I wanna thank my friend Jesse from college, Jessie Baker, because she saw my posting that you and I were doing something together. And she was like, this is wild. My friend from college is actually working with this guy that I love on Tik ToK. So thanks for the support. I loved her. I loved her and the opening. What was she to do? Where does she to go? She was out on her fanny. So over the flushing to the Sheffield store,
B Mo (10:23):
She was there. That's how she became the nanny. Here we go. We, we stumbled through that, but we made it. We found the end. By the way, everyone rate and review, we are a podcast. We are brand new. We need the help. So, uh, when you rate and review, then you can be the people getting these weird zany shout outs.
Loren (10:49):
If you want to make a request as to who we need to be when we thank you.
B Mo (10:53):
Oh God. Oh yeah. All right. Yeah, I'm with it.
Loren (10:58):
So I thought a lot about my dating life prior to marrying my husband, Matt and I was single for a very long time. And a lot of that was by choice. I, I never really wanted to date anyone. I was hyper-focused on my career, but I did notice that there was a period of time in college where clearly a career didn't exist. And, um, I was very single. And I think that one of the reasons why is because my ring tone was C&C music factory, gonna make you sweat everybody dance now.
B Mo (11:34):
Okay.
Loren (11:35):
So like, we'd be out with dudes and it'd be like dead, dead, dead, dead, dead. And everyone be like, Whoa, it wasn't popular when I was in college. Like it was,
B Mo (11:46):
I will say this, you might've been in the wrong pockets of people because where I see that this, yes, this is a zany to have it as a ringtone. But honestly, if I was at a bar and someone's phone went off and that was the ringtone, I'd be like, girl, let's talk. And also good.
Loren (12:03):
It was a great song. I think guys at TKE, just like, weren't really into it. You know, they were really more into the girls that were like slutty. And I don't know, that's probably not, it's not the right word. I'm not supposed to say that anymore. And I I'm trying to learn from that too. Speaking of learning, they were, I was not really into like having a good time. I was there to like, literally meet people and like have a relationship. And I think that that just like wasn't necessarily on anyone's mind.
B Mo (12:30):
Yeah. That reminds me of, um, Tina Fey's character in 30 rock when she comes over and he's like, can I buy you a drink? He's like, Oh, well I already have a drink. Can you buy me mozzarella sticks?
Loren (12:40):
Can I tell you every single person that has ever watched 30 rock has texted me and been like, you are Liz lemon. And I'm like, okay, I never saw it. And then my husband and I watched it last year during quarantine. And I was like, I am Liz lemon. The opening scene just sealed the deal where she was buying the hot dogs. And then I guess I forget what happened, but she like really had to put her foot down and was like, this is not right. And I was like, damn it.
B Mo (13:05):
This is me. Oh my God. I never really thought of it until you just said it. That's amazing. Oh God, I'm so happy about it. Cause Liz Lemon's great.
Loren (13:16):
She is great but. She's a lot, she's a handful. And so am I, but were you ever single or were you always like dating? Did you date a lot of people? Were you a serial monogamous? Like what was your deal?
B Mo (13:26):
I always was, I somehow always found myself in long-term relationships with terrible women with like, not even like just a terrible human beings and some of them like we've grown, you know? Yeah. Of course the through line of this episode growth and you're right. Like they grew and I'm cool with a bunch of them now, except for one that punched me in the face, on my party bus for my birthday, that will be an episode in and of itself. We'll discuss this. And I mainly was in a bunch of long-term relationships, but when I was single, I was the worst at like picking up girls. I was a fantastic, like top of the line wing, man. Everyone started calling me on the will Smith theme kept saying I was hitch because I could give great advice to other people, but I was terrible myself. Like, you know how he kept screwing up his dates with Eva Mendez and that movie I was that I would be like, Oh, hi, I'm pit that, do you like wrestling? Are you, uh, Hey, want to be friends? Like it was terrible.
Loren (14:26):
So you had no game,
B Mo (14:28):
none, none at all. And I like, Sarah makes fun of me for this now is I, I tend to be like awkward in a lot of social situations, even though I'm like very outgoing. So randomly I'll just be super awkward. So that's what I always would come across as when I was like trying to be suave and debonair with the ladies.
Loren (14:46):
I do think that the people who have no game are the people who are for long-term relationships. I think my husband has no game at all. And that's one of the reasons that I love him dearly for sure. Um, and we're going to close it out on weirdo of the week. I got to say I was out for lunch. We were all outside and there was this girl sitting next to us and she was 14 years old. Okay. And she was a famous actress, but I don't know who she was. I'd never seen her before, but you could tell based on the conversations that she's a working actress and this girl, 14 years old starts talking about how much she loves her Peloton and, um, how she is an atheist does not believe in certain things, but like, and that's fine. I don't care if you're an atheist. That's not the point. It's just to be 14 and have such a deep conversation about it at lunch with your friends is very bizarre to me. Very strange. Um, and then my favorite was at one point we were about to order a dish and she leans over and she goes, that dish is magnificent. I just ordered it myself. I was like, girl, you're 12 go away!
B Mo (15:52):
Was she Benjamin button? Like,
Loren (15:54):
It was so strange. And I like, I, I feel bad cause I'm crapping on a kid who was like 14 years old. But at the same time, it was weird. It's weird to meet a 14 year old. That basically talks like she's 40.
B Mo (16:04):
Was this like some weird freaky Friday situation where like some like older adult woman had turned into her body, like what? That is so weird. Like,
Loren (16:13):
I don't know man. She was upset about the new baristas at Starbucks. Um, and then my, my favorite line was "I wouldn't call myself pretty, but I do look better than I did when I was at camp."
B Mo (16:27):
Well, to be fair, we all look a lot better than we did at camp. That is a very common theme. I think it is our worst.
Loren (16:38):
My transformation from camp Loren to now Loren is many years. I believe her transformation was only a few months, but I got to say the dish was great. So she wasn't wrong.
B Mo (16:52):
So she was on poing, she knew what she was talking about then.
Loren (16:57):
Oh my God. Um, I am closing this thing out. I don't know when my sign-off is going to be. Do you have a sign off? Should we skip? Sign-offs going forward?
B Mo (17:06):
No, no, no, no. Um, uh, let, let's see. Um, yo let's have a great week. You people like yo wow. That was, see, this is what it was like when I hit on girls, that it was exactly that, um, bye that's I don't have one
Loren (17:26):
Rate us. Review us, leave us comments. Only if you like us.
B Mo (17:30):
